his own kinda suave

It wasn't his nice white teeth.



Or his beautiful eyes.



Or his baby face. Truth be told...I'm jealous of his baby's bootay smooth skin!



Or curly locks. Even if I am a big sucker for curls.



It wasn't his 6'1 frame. Although I do love that he's taller than me.



Nor was it his wry humor. He does keep me laughing.







We actually had a real live date night last week.



Not the cheering at a baseball game kind either. Although for the record...Grams keeping Trevy & Bri so we can sit on the bleachers and actually watch the game is one of our fave things to do!



But this one was the real deal. We got all dressed up. Had a gift certificate to a fancy shmancy open air seaside place too!



We arrived a bit early for our reservation and decided instead of waiting in the bar...to go for a stroll by the water.



The air was warm. The sun low on the horizon. I wore my little black dress. Jonathan matched. Except in guy clothes. We were holding hands and talking. My hair is long now. I like it better short. But alas - the ease of a ponytail. I'd curled and let it loose for our date. In a rare moment of guy observation...Jonathan noticed. And said...



Wow...









::picture the scene: two 30 something lovebirds standing on a cliff overlooking the sun setting bay...the last rays making my curly highlights sparkle::









I didn't know you had Country Singer hair!









::smile::



So much for romance!



Nope...it wasn't his suave way with words either!



But it was a whole mix of things not easily described that drew me to him. All the other stuff is just the icing on top!

You need those moments, and I'm sure you don't get them enough. The fact that you are still so in love after all you've been through is a testament to your relationship.

I heart the photo of you two!

(Was this the date night earned via the respite services?)

I find myself taking less and less pictures of me as time passes. But I do think we look awfully cute in that one! :)

Respite hasn't kicked in yet. Gotta love red tape and paperwork! But Grams graciously gave us a much needed (other than little league) date night!

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
